Michael was fabulous! He spent the day with us and was a great tour guide for my two young teenagers. Had good ideas of places to take pictures, answered questions, and kept us entertained during an incredibly busy day!

Michael D. - Private Tour Guide. I am a licensed New York City Sightseeing Guide and President of the Guides Association of New York City (GANYC). A life long New Yorker, my family roots in this great city date back to the 1850's. There is a lot of NYC in my DNA. As an experienced traveler I appreciate how important a guide can be for enhancing a visitor's experience. Getting to know a new place with a local makes all the difference. New York City - packed with things to do, places to go and people to see - can be a little overwhelming without the expertise of a native to show you the ropes. My tours will help you get the most out of your visit to our beautiful Metropolis. My goal as your guide is to help you fall in love with this city. I have given tours on boat, bus, foot, car and subway. Customized tours built around your interests are a specialty. Contact me with any questions. I look forward to providing you with a memorable and exciting visit to The Big Apple. Licensed New York City Tour Guide by The NYC Department of Consumer Affairs. President, National Federation of Tourist Guide Associations-USA Past President, Guides Association of New York City Licensed Washington DC guide. Certified International Tour Manager - International Guide Academy, Denver CO. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver. I do local, New York City tours only. No over the road trips.

Great tour; Michael is super informative!
Nancy D.United States
We hire tour guides where ever we go - Istanbul, St. Petersburg, New Zealand, Sicily, Tuscany - - you get the gist. Michael is among the best. It was great to have a native New Yorker orchestrate our 9/11 memorial and museum tour. The pace was right as well as the amount of detail. Outside of the tour, he appears to be committed to the tour guide business /education not only in NY, but everywhere. His recomendations of what else to do in NY were also great. Highly recommend!
Mark W.United States
Michael has been conducting 9/11 tours since before there was much to see at the site. Meaning, he knows where to go, what to see (and why), and what not to see (and why). His insights are very helpful in preventing a visitor from wasting a lot of time and not getting to see what should be seen!
Barbara P.United States
Michael was very informative and very interesting in his explanations and sensitivity on a very emotional subject.
